The unclaimed property from more than 13 million accounts is from dormant accounts at financial institutions, insurance and utility companies, securities and trust holdings.

The state's CFO says unclaimed money is deposited into the state school fund, where it is used for public education. But there is no statute of limitations, and citizens have the right to claim their property any time at no cost.

It is estimated that one in five Floridians has some type of unclaimed property. To check if you are one of them, visit the website www.FLTreasureHunt.org, where it is free to search for property as often as you want.http://www.FLTreasureHunt.org
